Всем знакома ситуация, когда, поспав ночью относительно недолго, чувствуешь себя бодрым и веселым. А бывает наоборот - после 10-ти часов сна просыпаешься без сил, с головной болью и ужасным настроением. Этому есть научное объяснение: сон человека состоит из циклов, прерывая которые своим пробуждением, мы нарушаем процесс восстановления организма во сне. Перед Вами уникальный будильник, с помощью которого Вы будете высыпаться независимо от того, есть возможность поспать вдоволь или нет. Будильник имеет два основных режима: 1. "Когда лучше лечь спать" 2. "Когда лучше проснуться" В первом режиме Вы указываете точное время, когда должен зазвонить будильник, и приложение Вам подскажет, когда лучше всего лечь спать, чтоб проснуться в указанное время бодрым и выспавшимся. Во втором режиме Вам предоставляется на выбор несколько вариантов времени, на которое стоит завести будильник, если Вы собираетесь лечь спать прямо сейчас. Хорошего сна и приятного пробуждения!

Verdict

The call

Будильник's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Будильник holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmallTask has 57 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of SmallTask's written reviews are positive against 80% of Будильник's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SmallTask ships an update every 6 months, Будильник every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
